Last week, we all laughed and cried (and then laughed again) over the commercial for Dr. Phil’s “exclusive” interview with Dina Lohan. Dina was, no joke, a complete and utter mess in that promo. We could hedge and say that Dr. Phil’s producers were just using the most damning parts of the interview to entice us into watching… to which I say, the producers did a great job, because I am SO watching Monday’s show. Shall we watch it again? Let’s watch it again.

I still love it. I still think it’s hilarious. And I don’t feel bad about laughing either. We can have a moment of feeling “bad” for poor crackie Lindsay Lohan (and even then… NO), but I just can’t muster up anything resembling sympathy for Dina. Spending one minute with this glorious interview only reminds me that Dina is one of the worst mothers and worst people ever. Anyway, since the promo got so much attention (because Dina was so obviously high or drunk or both), Dina decided to set the record straight to TMZ. I’m surprised she didn’t don a mustache and say all of this as her alter ego, Steve Honig.

Dina Lohan tells TMZ … she had NOT BEEN DRINKING before her interview with Dr. Phil … and blames the editing for making her appear intoxicated. The interview — set to air on Monday — was taped several months ago … and a new promo for the episode features a seemingly confused Dina acting bizarre .. and many people suspect she was blitzed.

In fact, the promo features a clip in which Dina’s ex-hubby Michael Lohan asks Phil if Dina had been drinking before the interview.

But Dina is adamant she was sober … telling TMZ, “I don’t care what it looks like. I’m fine and I don’t care what anyone says.”

She continues, “All people saw was two minutes edited of an hour long interview. Of course they cut it to make it interesting. That’s their job . I don’t blame them for doing that. Some of the comments were taken out of context but I’m fine. I’m fine.”

Dina tells us the public shouldn’t judge her until they see the full interview — insisting she’s a “good mom” who’s always been there for her 4 kids, including her oldest daughter Lindsay Lohan.

“I think the interview will be good. I know what I said and the facts are what the facts are. The proof is in the facts. The truth will set you free”

I want that one quote on a t-shirt: “I know what I said and the facts are what the facts are. The proof is in the facts. The truth will set you free”. Crack logic!! “The proof is in the facts” is maybe one of the most cracked-out ingenious statements I’ve ever f—king heard in my life. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to learn that Dina’s superior debating skills come from Captain Morgan’s Law School of Proof and Facts. I’m shocked that Dina hasn’t tried cases before the Supreme Court, blitzed out of her skull, flashing her beave to Justice Alito: “Your Honor, THIS is the fact and the proof is in there somewhere. CASE CLOSED.”

Same here! I’m taping this sucker. She might not be drunk from drinking, but she sure looks high from drugs to me from the clip. Watch for an announcement down the road absolving any responsibility for being blitzed on a tv interview by using the phrase “illegal” drugs. Just because a doctor gives you substances that make you so high you can’t act dignified does not mean you’re not fcucked up.

Either way, the woman speaks like a 15-year-old, saying “like” every other word. It’s disgraceful. Dina learn how to speak like an adult. Please!

Ugh, one look @ her & there is “the proof.” In that top pic, & in the video she looks very dehydrated…& most alkys are dehydrated. Alcohol doesn’t hydrate. So…what I’m trying to say is that although it’s VERY obvious in that video she is inebriated, she’s also manifesting the physical signs, as well.

And yes, her crack logic is extremely confounding and hilarious…her words are…verbatim how any and every alky and druggie rationalizes and justifies.

Watching that video, although very laughable, is also cringeworthy because almost anyone can discern she’s trapped up in a certain persona (albeit @ least 20 YEARS YOUNGER). The way she presents herself…she’s extremely immature, & her words and physical manner are of someone in their teens….not of a grown woman. She’s pitiful/pathetic.

No, I’m not shocked Lilo turned out the way she did…..look @ her role model.

Can someone convince this lady to wear a hem that goes below those knobby knees?!?! Yeah yeah she’s a super bad Mom and certainly drunk in the interview but her worse offense to date may be those knees.

why are her feet that much whiter than the rest of her skin? did she sunbathe with anklets on? she’s not even a tennis player, is she?

seriously, she reminds me of that one feral cat from my childhood days. all the kids call her (pretty sure she’s a menopausal girl-cat) Klompen (meaning clogs), because she had brown body fur but white front paws. looks cute at first, but will scratch everyone’s eyeballs out with its claws and meows until your eardrums burst.

I think the real winner here is Dr. Phil, because I had no idea that show was even still on but I will be popping the corn to watch this mess. I really wish Lindsay would get better and try very hard (even though she makes it very hard) to feel sorry for her. But this sub-human entity is disgusting and I will gleefully laugh at her making a fool of herself on national TV.

She was very clearly hammered (or high off medication/pills). Even if those are just the most exciting moments/was heavily edited, it doesn’t negate the fact that she is OBVIOUSLY tanked. The now infamous “Little tie, little shoes” quote is the fact with the proof. Who in their right mind would say that?!

I feel sorry for the younger kids. Hopefully one of them will wake up and realize their parents are nutters and they deserve more from life than just being famous.

She implies in the clip LA was bad luck for the Lohan Clan. They are victims of their geography, people! LL’s wrap sheet would be shorter IF she lived in another zip code. She is a good mother and her kids are fine. The evidence is in the proof of the facts evident in their fineness.

You’re not wrong, I remember it too. The article was very interesting and she did admit to having issues. At the time everyone thought that could be the turning point but then Mother Crack denied everything a day later. At some point LiLo needs to take responsibility for her life and I think that point was a few years ago but I do blame this witch for at least 50% of this mess.

@littlemissnaughty,@didi: thanks for confirming it. I remembered vaguely, but I wasn’t sure. I think that interview marked the beginning of Lindsay’s down spiral because she learnt to deny everything and that her fame and “image” were more important than her health.

@LucyOriginal – Her mother is the ultimate enabler, doing the very opposite of what a caring parent would do, seriously listening when her daughter got up the guts to actually admit she needs help.

She set back the chance of recovery, feeding her(LL) the delusion that she’s “just fine“. Lindsay is still responsible for what she does of course, but hasn’t had a strong support system, just her mother supporting her addiction with denial.

@Didi -

I agree with all of you. I said above that the rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the diseased tree(& it hits the ground hard when it drops).

I too live in Seattle and look for your comments as a fellow seattltite. I enjoy your commentary.

However tranny is derogatory. As you might have guessed I am gender fluid myself. I look and act way better than Dina Lohan. Dina looks bad because of who she is not because she is a trans sexual person.

To put a lighter note on it, you are insulting trans people comparing her to us! Lol

I stopped using the word “tranny” when I realized it was derogatory. Just like I dont say the f word or retard anymore. But quick question- does tranny refer to a transgendered person or to a transvestite? And a transvestite is a physical male who gender identifies as a man who enjoys dressing as a woman, and it does not reflect on his sexual orientation, correct? I always thought tranny referred to transvestites. I dont mean to be all, speak for every transgendered person everywhere. just your personal opinion will do

Good question! When I read Kelly’s reply I perceived it as talking about trans sexual folks (I am being harassed at work by a transphobe and am more sensitive than usual). But upon re reading it I believe you are right and she is referencing trans vestites. I have heard tranny used for both trans sexuals and trans vestites. Another reason not to use it it is inexact! he he

Charlotte I also agree that Kelly was not trying to be hateful about it.

Ugh! “Fine”. Everything is always fine with this lady. Lindsay’s always “fine” and doing “great”. She’s “fine”, Ali’s “fine”. At this point if Dina says you’re “fine”, you better be checking into an Emergency Department, rehab or psych ward STAT.

she seems to have been in hiding for some time now tho – right? i’d actually wondered why i saw so little of her in the blogs, etc. she used to be shooting her mouth off all the time & everywhere, but shes been off the grid except for that story about her & the entourage skipping out on a bill at some gala they crashed…… i love my booze, ladies (so no judging there) – her problem is that she really DOES seem to just be a hag-gy b*tch. SHE’S NOT NICE.

I appreciate a woman on the blog actually telling the truth about her drinking (I too I like to drink with friends, ::gasp::). But obviously there is a time and place.

She went on a paid interview intoxicated. That’s like showing up to work intoxicated. Do I think that there was a full bar in the back for guests to unwind with or perhaps even encouraged for pre-interview jitters? Yes. But she needs to understand one to two drinks is enough when the entire nation is going to watch you.

As for Dr. Phil likely exploiting her addiction issues with providing her alcohol in the back– just gross.

The proof is in the facts if you look at the details, and examine, with your very own knowledge, the facts that you see presented (which are clearly there). The truth is obvious and the facts prove it.

THIS. I feel very sorry for Lindsay. If you haven’t lived it, you CANNOT understand what drives the messed-up person. Think about it like this…most of you have loving mothers. Imagine having a mother that pimped you out as a child and taped it, like Dina is alleged to have done. Imagine a mother that does drugs with you. Or never says a nice word about you. Most of you might be able to imagine it, but think about it every single day for your entire childhood and probably a lot of your adult life. Frankly, I’m surprised she’s lived this long, poor thing.

I look at Lindsay and see so many self-destructive behaviors and I completely understand. It is almost impossible to escape and “get over it”, especially if you keep that person in your life. I am not making excuses but my heart just breaks for her.

I’m so glad she set that record straight @ first I thought I’d read down the article to hear her blame it on ambien but good to hear her say “I’m fine I’m F.I.N.E.” which we know=f’d up insecure neurotic & emotional-but I’m glad to hear she’s fine *eye roll & sigh*

She is so disgusting, inside and out. THIS is where her cash-cow daughter learned her tricks of the trade. It’s easy to say that Lindsay should wake up and see her mother for who she really is and break up with her ass. However, I have no doubt that Dina manipulated her thinking process while she was growing up and continues to do so.

Yes. The ONLY way Lindsay would ever have a chance is to completely distance herself from her toxic family. She needs to understand what has been done to her, and how to recover from it. It CAN be done but it’s a really hard, lonely process and most people don’t have the strength to step outside what they know and do something different.

It also helps to have someone who understands to be there for you. I don’t see any of this happening for Lindsay, sad to say. I wish I could help her…

Shelly, you’re right about Dina manipulating Lindsay’s thought processes – she’s done it to all her children. I read quite some time ago that Dina raised the kids with a “bunker mentality,” telling them over and over again that they could only trust their family and no one else.

Imagine what that does to a kid. (I’m not making excuses for their behaviour, but once Lindsay started screwing up and facing repercussions for her actions, imagine Dina telling her “It’s not your fault; those people were just using/taking advantage of you; see, this is what I meant when I told you you can only trust family.”)

Dina Lohan sounds like a teenager even when she is writing those fake stories for the columns to release…Like the ” GaGa and Lindsay Sleepover” were they played board games and talked about fashion ” all night…Yea right ! Like a 15 yr old writing for the school social section of the paper…
What I love about the whole Lohan Inc thing is how damn transparent they are in their devisions for Lindsay when she really screws up like last week trying to duck out of SM%….Every and I mean Every time the press starts getting overly negative about her ..then Up pops Dina or Micheal with a heat attack, or a arrest , or a interview or something to take the focus off of Lindsay…its as regular as clock work…
Grifting at its best…’ Get the public to focus on the naked dancer while the pickpockets empty their pockets…” .
The Pickpockets are working the crowd again…….

This is the most horrible woman I have ever seen. A mother takes care of her children above all else. Her daughter is killing herself and could easily kill someone else and she’s on Dr. Phil?!!
She wants to be a celebrity not a mother. Parents don’t deny drug abuse. They move whatever mountains they have to try and heal their children. I don’t drink in front of my children, curse in front of my children or bleach my hair and wear cloths that would horrify them where we live. All of the people we know are pretty much like-minded. If life were like the families we see on tv the world would fall apart.

I’ve seen parents make excuses for their children’s addictions all the time. Some parents are in more denial than even their addicted children.

However, I do agree that you shouldn’t drink in front of your children. THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION but I think it sets a bad example, even if you are only drinking “a couple glasses of wine after work” ::side eye at my mother-in-law::

I think she has a benzo problem, actually. Maybe Xanax? That’s what I look like when I take too much. No, really. I have anxiety issues, and take a very low dose. Sometimes I bump it up a little (not to abuse, prescribed to me to take as needed), and depending on how my metabolism is doing, I can accidentally take too much and look high/drunk–like happy, giggly hot mess. It sucks.

Sigh. Thats happened to me too. I am really glad to know its happened to someone else too! I always wonder about when it happens too. Because it kind of hits out of the blue and doesnt always even correspond to dosage.

Yeah, I can take the same dose one day & not feel it, and the next I’ll take the same and feel high as a kite. It’s embarrassing & awful, because when it works it’s really effective at curbing my panic attacks and helping me to calm down without making me feel like I’m drunk. I’m calm, levelheaded, and better prepared to be a contributing member of society. In essence, it centers me. But then like 1/20 times I take it, I’m high. Sigh.

Krissy, I’m definitely addicted to it. Absolutely. I feel withdrawal effects within a few days of stopping (headaches, irritability, nausea). I think people should own up to that part of it, because it’s part of the right way to take something that can so easily turn you Dina-effing-Lohan-esque.

This has happened to me as well. I have severe anxiety/depression issues, & experienced some very unfortunate side effects as we tried to find the right medication. ( Venlafaxine & abilify seem to be working so far).

Supposed to take once a day, but I’ve accidentally forgotten to take it (before bed) twice before, & the withdrawal was horrifying. It made me dizzy/bitchy/restless/nauseous & high, but not high in the good sense

Yes yes on the benzo problem!! She probably took something to calm her down before the interview and then took advantage of the open bar before the interview (shame on you Dr. Phil). That would be enough to throw her for a loop.

Beyond that, she obviously has a severe personality disorder that she passed on to Lindsey. The other children seem to have escaped that curse, but Ali is certainly suffering greatly from the fallout of living closely with such disordered, drug abusing family members.

Michael Lohan is in no place to make snide remarks about Dina. This is a man who kicked his fiance in the crotch for God’s sake.

Honestly, I cant stand Dr Phil’s voice and the way he questions people. So much so that I’ll save that hour of my life and just watch the recap here, bc you wonderful people will break it down and tell me the important stuff. To be honest, this woman intrigues me with the level of denial and complete obliviousness that we can see straight through her drunken lies. She reminds me of myself when I used to try to talk myself out of getting thrown out of a bar for being too drunk, “I’m not drunk, the proof is in the facts!” She needs a reality show.

There’s no doubt in my mind that dr. Phil and his show is sketchy enough to do some major editing of the interview to heighten interest and controversy. However, it’s equally easy to believe that WO is a mess regardless. Anyway, like I mentioned b4, nothing will come of this interview imo. They’re only generating interest to draw in the viewers, they’ll gabble gabble and spout meaningless drivel for an hour, pocket the money, and go their way and do nothing and change nothing. Absolutely nothing will change in Lindsey’s life and she will continue as she does. Lindsey maybe never had a chance, but in any case, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree and it ain’t gonna roll away now either.

I know that it must be hella fun to watch this trainwreck, but at the risk of sounding snobbish, isn’t the fact that we’re giving this waste of space so much attention the problem why these famewhores exist in the first place?

Kartrashians, Lohans, Hiltons and their ilk… IGNORE them, for the love of all that is holy! Don’t watch, and if the ratings fail, they’ll (maybe) go away a little faster?

I hope that if she truly is there modeling, that she becomes successful enough and can break away (emotionally) from her family. If she is in rehab, then I hope she finds the strength she needs to stay strong afterwards.

@Kathryn – I’m with ya there. She’s just another one who started life ‘in the hole’ compared to others. I hadn’t heard anything at all about her when Lindsay had a career. It (her drug/alcohol abuse) just seemed to start out of nowhere. (Who knows, she was probably invited to her family’s ‘blitzed’ parties all along).

Perhaps because of LL’s career taking a nose-dive, mommy dearest turned her attention to her other daughter, feeding her to *some* sort of celebrity she could leech off of.

I did see one picture at the Korean Tasse Tasse site that looked very much like Ali, but couldn’t locate anything else at the site for her (would help to know Korean… which I don’t.). They had other non-Korean models shown also. So she might be legitimately working as a model there. Would be nice if true, if only to get a chance to be far, far away from her family in an interesting place with other people her age. She needs a really long break from her kin, however she manages it.

holy shit lmfao Dina is such a drunken, disgusting, self-humiliating mess! You’re right, I can’t muster any glimpse of sympathy for her. Lindsay, on the other hand, yes because even though she fks up more than most of us do she is actually WORKING and TRYING !!

Far be it from that particular show’s producers to plan the whole thing, i.e. provide and plow her with booze in the make up chair, for the ratings… Naw, that’d be mean. But… I do see many folks planning to watch who don’t even like the show.

We only need to watch this interview or read any comment from Dina to see why Lindsay is such a mess and acts the way she does. It’s sad really. “Those aren’t my pants” and “The black kid did it” are just two of Lindsay’s comments that could have come straight from Dina herself.

She is DEFINITELY on SOMETHING! I don’t think it’s booze, it’s pills or something. She can barely sit still or form a coherent sentence. And her eyes are completely dilated or something – she is either all pupil or no pupil cuz I don’t see any pupils!

It was sad but she made Michael look good. lol! I think michael is scummy normally but why would he say, for example, Dina stole $4k from Lindsay’s purse? why $4k exactly? i believe Lindsay told him that and Dina probrably did.

as for the woman who claimed Michael was the father of her daughter..i dont understand..she would bring her daughter on the show to make the claim that Michael is her dad but doesnt want to take the paternity test on the show because it is too invasive?? whaattt?
Smells like a scam to me.
